The UK Real Estate department is spread across the firm's London and
Bristol office. We have the resources and experience to deal with all
aspects of commercial property and our reputation is built on our
lawyers' in-depth knowledge and experience across a range of sectors.
Legal 500 recognises the exceptional ability within the team, our
reputation for taking a bespoke approach, and our understanding of our
clients' needs (Legal 500, 2025).
Our practice areas include real estate investment, development and
regeneration, retail, corporate occupiers, hotels and leisure,
advising on all aspects of property management and assisting our
corporate and insolvency teams on M&A and restructuring transactions.
We advise throughout the lifecycle of a property investment, from
acting on the acquisition of single assets/property portfolios, to
property management, landlord and tenant matters and disputes, to
disposal and advising on exit liabilities. Although we work closely
with other departments, only a small proportion of our work is in support.
We are an ambitious team and encourage our lawyers to be autonomous
and develop their careers, within a supportive and inclusive culture.
